15 million Jews out of 8 billion on the planet. And yet we punch way above our weight in almost every field. People credit grit. Work ethic. Generations of hardship. But I think it's simpler than that. Our secret weapon is Jewish mothers. Chutzpah. Confidence. Swagger. They hand it to you early. And to my own mom… thanks, I love you. Shabbat shalom. 🤍

Netflix House Dallas just opened. It’s not a store or a theme park. It’s a 100,000-square-foot world where entertainment and commerce are one. You walk through stranger things. You play Squid Game. The commerce isn't a separate step at the end. It’s part of the story. When the experience is this immersive, the technology has to be invisible. This is where Shopify POS comes in. Our mobile tech means the staff meet fans exactly where they are. No counters. No bottlenecks. Just a seamless flow. Netflix built the world. Shopify makes it shoppable. This is the future of retail.

My dad used to print me a business card every time I had a new business idea as a kid. It made me feel like a real entrepreneur. My daughter wants to start a lemonade stand. So I opened Tinker and made her a logo and business cards in minutes. From my phone. We built Tinker so anyone with an idea can start doing something with it. Go try it. This is awesome Rousseau Kazi

The Universal Commerce Protocol with Shopify Catalog is now open to every developer. Since we announced UCP in January, it’s been powering agentic commerce across some of the biggest AI platforms in the world. Now, new tools are available to anyone who wants to build a shopping experience. That means a solo developer has the same commerce layer as the largest tech companies on the planet. One protocol. Millions of merchants. Billions of products. And every new experience a developer builds? That's a win for merchants too. More places for people to discover and buy their products. Nothing to set up. Commerce that can show up anywhere, inside anything, built by anyone.

Supplements aren't inherently a luxury item. They're functional. Seed Health changed that. They took supplements out of plastic bottles and turned health into a luxury experience. Matte glass. Minimal branding. Every detail is intentional. I've been taking Seed daily for three years now and love them. Incredible product arakatz. Now they've launched their store on Shopify. Welcome to Shopify, Seed.

This line from the Shopify spot hits me hard every time: “Normal people are asleep. Good.” Entrepreneurs are built different because they see something that doesn’t exist yet and can’t stop chasing it. Sometimes that obsession becomes a company. Sometimes it becomes 24 hours at Le Mans. This weekend, tobi lutke reminded us that Shopify was built by the same kind of person Shopify builds for. Built different, indeed 💚

Q3: Shopify delivered. Again. - 32% GMV growth - 32% revenue growth - 18% free cash flow margin We’re welcoming iconic brands like Estée Lauder, David’s Bridal, goop, and Michael Kors. But at the heart of Shopify, it’s always been entrepreneurs. Every 26 seconds, around the world, someone makes their first sale using our platform. We’re not just growing our piece of the pie, we’re growing the pie itself.

Just wrapped our Q2 earnings call and we delivered once again. GMV up 31% to $87.8B. Revenue up 31% to $2.7B. Free cash flow margin was 16%. But as you know, my favourite part of these calls is talking about how the biggest brands continue to come to Shopify! A big welcome to Canada Goose, Starbucks and Burton Snowboards. Consistency, follow through, durable growth. That’s Shopify’s MO. And now back to building.

What matters most to our merchants and their customers is: choice. We make that a reality with every partnership we execute. Soon, Amazon will release an app in Shopify’s app ecosystem that will give merchants who use Amazon’s fulfillment network the choice to add Buy with Prime on Shopify’s Checkout - and it’s all processed by Shopify Payments 🚀

It’s official: Shopify is the first commerce integration partner on Roblox. Soon, you’ll be able to shop physical products like clothing, accessories and collectables designed by your favourite creators and brands, all within Roblox, and it’s all powered by Shopify. This means that developers, creators, and brands who are on Shopify, can sell DIRECTLY within their Roblox games. More spaces to connect with fans means more opportunities to succeed as an entrepreneur, and that is what we are powering at Shopify. See you soon on Roblox 🚀

Love this story: AI meets analog In 2023, Cat Goetze was spending too much time staring at screens. So she enlisted ChatGPT to help her hack a Bluetooth antenna into a landline phone. Then she used AI to turn that prototype into a real business. Two years later she posted a single video and sold over 1,000 phones in 72 hours. A year later she’s running a company doing seven figure revenue on Shopify. This is exactly the kind of story Shopify Spaces was built for. It’s a physical manifestation of an entrepreneur’s ambition and story. Coolest thing we do.
